Data Extraction Error

[Anonymous]

Autocad 2016 SP1

Using the Data Extraction Wizard I am experiencing an error while selecting blocks in my file. Steps:

In a saved file:

-‘DATAEXTRACTION’

-‘Create a new data extraction’

  -Data Source: ‘Select Objects in the current drawing’

   -after selecting the blocks that I want to be included in the selection and pressing enter, a window pops up asking “Do you want to quit the Data Extraction Wizard?”

    -Click No, data extraction wizard still closes

I have several data extractions in a file that display attributes from different instances of the same block. I need to update the extraction to include changes that were made to some of the blocks.

What I have tried:

-Reset my settings to default

-Create new data extractions instead of updating the existing

-Start new file, try to extract a different block

Data extraction works if the data source is set to “Drawings/Sheet set (Include current drawing)”.

Hi josh.harmon,

and welcome to the community 

I have followed your steps, but couldn't recreate the described outcome. Command works perfectly fine.

Can you please send me a screencast, showing exactly what you are doing. Maybe I missed something...

Thank you

I have had issues with data extraction when there was junk in the files. Have you run AUDIT?

I received your message, thank you. I don't know if it is a coincidence or not, but as soon as I downloaded the Screencast Recorder I could not recreate the problem. Thank you for your help, sometimes things just fix themselves.
